The Animal Aid has a clear vision and commitment to the ideal of animals and humans living in harmony, and to take a leadership role in achieving the best outcome for animal welfare. The Animal Aid operates as an “Open Door” shelter and never refuses an animal in need and will only euthanase any animal as a last resort. Animal Aid recognises its responsibility to the community to re-home only temperamentally sound and healthy animals and to achieve a rehoming program that provides quality of life for animals and their new owners. The Animal Aid is now a pro-active shelter focused on working with other community organisations to develop practical solutions to problems associated with animal welfare and management.
